A LOST MIDLIFE ... WHAT A WAY TO GO : Nigerian woman to spend 25 years in Cambodian prison for drug trafficking (PICTURED)

Collin Seniola Bosede - YNaija
A Nigerian woman has been sentenced to 25 years imprisonment in Cambodia after she was found guilty of drug trafficking.
36-year-old Collin Seniola Bosede was convicted by a Phnom Penh Municipal Court after she was caught attempting to smuggle methamphetamine into the country.
Collin was arrested last year after authorities at the Phnom Penh International Airport found 1.5 kg of the drug stashed in a laptop in her luggage.
Cambodian Daily reports:
Ms. Bosede maintained during her trial that a man in Qatar had asked her to transport a computer to Cambodia and that she was unaware that drugs were stashed inside it.
“I did not know. I did not know,” she said at court Wednesday, weeping.
“I do not understand why the court convicted me to 25 years in jail and I will die,” said Ms. Bosede. “If I knew the computer had drugs I would not have taken it.”
Presiding Judge Suos Sam Ath told Ms. Bosede that she has the right to file an appeal of the verdict within the next 30 days.
Leaving court, Ms. Bosede declined to talk to a reporter when asked if she would appeal her conviction.
